------------ ************ Topic 12 Fri Feb 24, 1989 DO-RAE-MI at 23:45 EST Sub: ieee interface available Someone was looking for an IEEE interface. 3 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 17, Topic 12 Message 1 Fri Feb 24, 1989 DO-RAE-MI at 23:48 EST In the not too distant past, someone inquired about a sourse for IEEE interfaces, other than those of which I knew off the cuff. The other day, I was looking through the lst issue of the Transactor & found they were still advertising the G-Link IEEE. It's no longer being made, but I have heard it was about as transparent an interface of that sort as was available. Don't know off the cuff if it was a 64 mode only item or not. If you are still on the market, you might check that option out.

IEEE interface I'll sell for $50.00 if anyone is interested... ------------ Category 17, Topic 12 Message 3 Fri Apr 21, 1989 W.MOORE17 at 20:01 PDT ------------ ************ Topic 13 Sun Jan 18, 1987 W.SMITH [Grandizer] at 17:07 EST Sub: IEEE interfaces Does anyone know of a good source for IEEE interfaces? Or at least what the protocol is? 4 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 17, Topic 13 Message 1 Sun Jan 18, 1987 W.SMITH [Grandizer] at 17:16 EST I am looking for a good source for IEEE interfaces. I would also appreciate any and all info on the IEEE hardware and protocol ( I might try to home brew one) WBS ------------ Category 17, Topic 13 Message 2 Sun Jan 18, 1987 DEB [*SysOp*] at 17:48 EST For the 64, the ONLY reliable AND transparent IEEE interface was the BusCard II. It is no longer being manufactured nor distributed, BUT, when I spoke to Batteries Included last week, they indicated that they WILL sell them til their supply is gone, direct to users. The buscard is useless in 128 mode, tho. For a C-128, you should look at QUICKSILVER 128....it is by far the most reliable, transparent AND FAst one out. There are several drawbacks to using it, tho...without installing a piggyback board and a switch, you will NOT be able to use CP/M. Partner 128 does not work with it. My guess is that many things which use the cartridge port will not work properly with it. SixtyFour Mode implementation is not as straightforward or as transparent as the Buscard, but the interface DOES allow use of both modes of operation, and you can turn it on and off easily from handy dipswitches. I use both of the above IEEE interfaces and am very pleased with them for what I need it to do....which is simply to use my SFD's!! There are/were other 128 interfaces, but they are slow and not very transparrent. Hope this helps... *deb!* ------------ Category 17, Topic 13 Message 3 Fri Jan 23, 1987 S.LEWIS at 23:38 MST My recommended 64 IEEE interface is the no-longer-made Quicksilver 64. If you can find one out there for sale used, by all means B price for a used QS64 in Phoenix is $75. The only difference between a QS64 and the IEEE Flash! is the ROM chip. I leave it to your imagination on how to convert an IEEE Flash into a QS64.

I don't know anything about the 8088 mic
